Tag: Operation Christmas Child

Nursery and Primary 1 worked together recently to fill boxes for the Operation Christmas Child appeal.

Children and staff were all touched by Mrs. Jardine’s visit when she told us about delivering the boxes to children who have so little compared to us. Her photos, stories and DVD seemed to have a genuine impact on the children.

One of our Mums, Mrs. Simpson, kindly organised our box filling day which was great fun with Nursery, Primary 1 and parents all working together. As well as Mrs. Simpson’s gifts, we had generous contributions from other families which made our efforts particularly impressive.

The most exciting part of this activity for the children seemed to be loading the boxes into the van, ready to be sent on their way. Everyone helped to carry the boxes outside and the children all blew a kiss into the van to wish “Merry Christmas” to the children receiving the boxes.  

We would like to thank all those who helped to make this a very worthwhile experience for the children.
